Complaint #77 Betchan Casino

Unfairly confiscated winnings, refusing to refund

By Maurice N.

8 years ago

Hello I'm very unhappy with Betchan Casino. I've made a total of 37 deposits with a particular credit card. I've asked support if there is any bonus available for me he awarded me 20 spins. After I've completed the wagering of the bonus I had 300 EUR in my account. Then I requested a withdrawal and they asked me to upload pics of the cards. I did but the one card were not in my name. Let me quickly explain my older brother have several bank accounts and he passed this account to me about two years ago. I have full access to the account and it is my name and phone number on the account. The only thing is it is still my brothers name on the credit card because it have not expired yet and once it does the new card will have my name on it. I explained everything to Betchan and send them all the proof I even offered to send my brothers ID to them to proof it but they still removed all my winnings claiming that 3rd party payments is not allowed. Fair enough even though it is basically my account. My problem is I've made more than 700 EUR deposits with that one card that is in my brothers name. I've won 300 EUR from a bonus I received and not as a direct result from the deposit I made with that card. If they remove all my winnings shouldn't they also then refund all the deposits I've made using that card? I mean it is a lose lose situation for me now. They get to keep the deposits and then confiscate all my winnings also? That is not fair according to me. Should I just go to the bank and charge back all the deposits or what must I do? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Considering the fact that player has already confirmed the fact that the credit card used for depositing was not on their name/s as well as the detail that player's winnings were derived from playing with a free spins offer, AskGamblers Complaints Team believe there is a clear violation of the following Betchan Casino terms and conditions #1.12:

...Betchan Casino does not accept third party payments. You must make deposits only from an bank account , bank cards VISA/MasterCard, payment systems Skrill/NETELLER or other payment methods that is registered in your own name. If we determine during the security checks that you have violated this condition then your winnings will be confiscated and original deposit returned to the owner of the payment account, also Betchan Casino is not responsible for the lost funds deposited from third party accounts.

Based on the above, AskGamblers Complaints Team consider this case as Resolved and it is now officially closed. In case of a disagreement with our decision we remind player that further assistance on this matter could be requested from the relevant licensing authority responsible for Betchan Casino.

So why didn't you refund all the deposits I've made with that card? Why do you get to keep my money but when I won as a result from a bonus the funds get confiscated. I would be perfectly happy and would understand 100% if you are willing to refund the deposits made from the card that is not in my name. Seeing that this were the issue and my winnings were taken. I don't want to do the charge backs but this seems so unfair towards me. It is a lose lose situation for me and a win win one for you.

Withdrawal pending forever

Hi,

I opened an account at Betchan Casino and made it thru all the verification process as they asked me (see attached file). I made several deposits without any problems, I did NOT take any bonuses with those deposits, the casino doesn’t offer any at the moment anyway except cash back. I won 495$ on June 30, which I wanted to withdraw because I was on a losing streak on their site. Several days pass by and my withdrawal is still in progress. Couple exchanges by email with the VIP manager assigned. Things move slowly. Apparently, the problem is with the payment provider. But I’m still in the dark right now.

Please help me resolve this case quickly

Denied account verification without saying why, confiscated a balance of €38,710

I played at Betchan roulette,blackjack and Baccarat.
I deposit money from my own bankaccount to Sofort and then played at Betchan.
It is my own Dutch bankaccount which I use in Holland where I also life.
When I want to withdrawl my money from my account I had to verify.
I did what they asked me to do. Copy pasport and copy from my bank with the deposit to Sofort.
The called me with skype where I had to show my pasport and try to answer their questions. For me it is hard because my English isn't good. My boyfriend helped me to answer the answer. In the end a weird coversation.

After a couple days I get an email that they could not verify my account and all winnings will be lost. My balance at my account was €45010 and I could only withdrawl €6300.
I have no idea why the verification failed. Every question I ask them has the same answer:

Dear player,

This decision was made by the management of our casino and is not subject to further consideration.

It is a lot of money and I want to verify my account and willing to do everything to profide the information they need.
At this moment I have no idea what I did wrong. I used 2 times to deposit from my boyfriend account 2 times but if they want to verify that also no problem.

Problems with resetting password and log into my account not solved

For more than 3 days unable to reset my password and log into my account. Friday 29.5.2020 created an account and deposited twice using their bonus offers. After logging out had 135 euro balance with my second deposit being 40 euros and with wager not completed. In my second attempt to log into my account the password I settled during registration said to be invalid. So I opened an issue via email to support asking for an alternative way to reset password. Al the emails I received from their reset password service refer to no longer existing page and server. In addition even after editing the link according to the support instructions I was directered to a casino page with error 404. I have contacted them with lots of messages asking for a quick solution as I was afraid of possible data fraud since I could not enter my account and did not have a password of mine. Support keep asking for my patience for 72 hours and that the technical department will find a solution and inform me. In my belief tha problem we have to cope with is not something complex or important. It seems that support and technical department of the casino cannot provide quick solutions to everyday problem. Having played to lots of online casinos and to other casinos operated by N1 it is obvious that this site is not a safe choice for deposistong money.

Giving me a hard time with withdrawals

Hi All, I have deposit more then 20K ON BETCHAN the last week. I won happily 11750K back, but it seems to be impossible to cash out. Firts the reason was that I did not uploaded the right docs, then when I did, they said they could not pay out to this PSP in the region, but it is a normal mastercard from bank N26 operating in 30 countries now(all european). Then they said that I used another Creditcard which was truth, so uploaded that one as well. still payments where declined all the time. Then they advised me to use another payment method, so I used my bank account that thye have used for a succesfull pay out last week. and now they say that the withdrawing limits are exceeded. I can proof all of this and it seems that betchan is trying to keep my money probably to win it back. fact is that I trying for 2 days now and they keep on giving me different answers. My pay name is matthijs and my profile is matthijs muijser. I must say that I getting seriously crazy of this. Please help

Withdrawal delay and horrible live chat

Febuary 2020 I started playing this site. After many deposits (9 for a total amount of 1573 EUR) I finally won a decent amount and requested a 1800 EUR withdrawal. Ofcourse documents were needed to verificate. Documents were approved the same day, however another picture of me holding my ID had to be uploaded. Uploaded this one as well and was also approved by Betchan. A day after this first Withdrawal i requested another one (1122 EUR) because i won some more.

However, the withdrawals have never been transfered to my bank account. They are still pending according to information within my account. After several attempts to contact through "Live chat", they keep telling me the withdrawal is under investigation and I have to wait. No official email or something, no timeframe how long the investigation is going to take. I would recommend everyone to play at different gambling site which has their priorities right and doesn't let you wait more than a week when you withdraw money.

Troubles with payment and support service

My complains it regarding Payment Processing Delays, inadequate Customer Service and a very confusing withdraw form I believe deliberately confusing for customers.

Support agents said that Payments are processed within 2 hours. Then they told me payments are processed in 5 days. Then the website said payments are processed in 12 hours.

It has been over 12 hours and the payment has not been processed. The banking form which I have attached asks for the BSB and Account Number to be included on the same line with no spaces. When I asked the support team how the Finance team would recognize the BSB from the account, which are both 6 digits each, they had no real answer.

When I asked about the payment processing times, they said the payment would be approved the moment it hits my bank account. I confronted them on this and said it doesn't make sense. They said "5 days".

The constant back and forth with the the support staff has left me extremely frustrated. However I refuse to recall or replay any of these funds.

I would like a Native English speaker from the Casino to respond to the following;

1. How long does it take to send a payment from the casino (not how long it would take to receive it into my account)
2. How does the Casino recognize the BSB from the Account Number in Bank Withdraws.

If I am able to get that information I can confidently have this issue resolved.

So by contacting live chat and referencing the code word FREE as well as validating my account information and proof of email and humoring you regarding my personal voting decisions on a third party website have I sufficiently satisfied the requirements to receive this bonus

Code word free. I already have an ask gamblers account and have voted cashmio. Can't change it. The email doesn't say it's a requirement for free spins. It says the code word is. I have provided sufficient proof and explaination regarding this

I feel that the requirements are quite clear in the email. I also need to know how to properly lodge a complaint regarding the conduct of the previous support professional

The email clearly states the requirement is the code word

If bullying, deception and bribery is how you intend to get votes then I should post this transcript to askgamblers for complaint review. I can't imagine that they would want the integrity of their organizations yearly awards tainted like this. People depend on the authenticity of their reviews

Withdrawal unfairly confiscated

I have been a regular player on this casino. I made a deposit the other night in which I won 4000.00 on I cashed this 4000 out and then noticed I had 246 in bonus money in which I was to wager 735 dollars back on. I did this I played the money and paid them the wager fee. While playing I noticed the money in which I tried to withdrawal kept going back into my casino account. To make a long story short I got the email today telling me they confiscated my entire casino winnings because I made too high of bets including the 4000 i cashed out even before playing any bonus money. This is so wrong on every level. I could see them taken my winnings won off their bonus money but the 4000 I cashed out was not on bonus money at all I won that money fair and square. They placed under 500 back in my account. Not even close to my initial win. I want my 4000 dollars and I will most certainly never play here again. My heart is in shambles. They took all 10 thousand dollars from me because I was betting to high. Please help me get my original 4000 back at least. Thanks
